Chapter 30 - The Origin Of Civilization (2/2)
In the interstellar era, the exploitation of physical labor was inefficient and meaningless.
Even for the commoner class, most of the people were not living in poverty.
It was not difficult to support themselves and their families.
However, life in the mining galaxy was relatively monotonous and there was not much pressure. Hence, there were many such gatherings.
“Lin Dong, how are your?”
After Lin Dong found a seat and sat down, a tall and sturdy young man seated on the left asked with a smile.
This was Lin Dong’s good friend Luo Fei. He had been Lin Dong’s deskmate for 3 years and had taken good care of him since he was born in the Welfare Institute. He often brought things from home and dragged Lin Dong to participate in gatherings. In reality, it was just the 2 of them.
After Lin Dong graduated, he chose to be a interstellar miner and would meet Luo Fei from time to time.
They were still very good friends after they graduated.
“Normal. What about you? Do you have any opportunities to take a step further?” Lin Dong picked up a can of beer and casually asked.
Luo Fei worked in a large-scale smelting factory. On the mining planet, the focus of the industry revolved around mining.
Smelting was also 1 of the priorities.
“Not so fast! The expansion of the production line is still on the agenda. Before it was decided, the position of team leader was already decided internally. When it is my turn to know the news, I will have no chance.”
Luo Fei spread his hands, feeling somewhat helpless and disdainful.
Lin Dong patted his shoulder and did not say anything.
In the interstellar era, manual labor was not exploited. However, the disadvantage of information and the restriction of one’s birth family would also increase the height of one’s life, causing one to be unable to cross over the social class.
“Actually, it’s nothing. It’s not that my family has been demanding. I just don’t want to waste my life in a smelting factory.”
Luo Fei clenched his fist and waved his hand. “Piloting a battleship and traveling in the universe is what a man should do.”
“I want to find an opportunity to go to Baron Soro’s territory. There’s a secondary education school for battleships there. I want to see if I can get in.”
Luo Fei voice out, but he lowered his voice and continued his last sentence.
Lin Dong raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.
The existence of the Spark battleship was not a big secret. After all, he had known about it for so many years.
Moreover, the Spark battleship also required personnel of different positions.
For example, helmsman, communications officer, radar operator, crew members of various units, and even service personnel, these were all part of the external recruitment.
Therefore, for the civilian class, after professional training, boarding a certain Spark battleship to work was also a very good way out.
However, this method would be life-threatening. After all, the Spark battleship was also a battleship, and not some ordinary spaceships.
When they entered the alternate space battlefield, a lot of them died in there.
However, Luo Fei was very bold and brave.
The feudal system of the Ardent Fire Empire was equivalent to having many small countries within a country. Different noble territories were equivalent to a small country.
It was not easy for the commoners to move between different noble territories.
This was because the small countries had their own enmity and cooperation based on their relations and interests. If someone went to another rival small country, it was equivalent to treason. Would they let you leave safely?
If one were to go to a safer small country, it would depend on the opinions of the nobles.
If one wanted to go through proper channels to settle the immigration procedures, one could only look at opportunities, especially for Luo Fei, who had a family and was a commoner.
“You are not thinking of smuggling, right? If that happens, Uncle Luo will beat you to death.”
Lin Dong questioned softly.
Luo Fei repeatedly shook his head. “I would only do that if I was crazy. Smuggling would trouble my family too.”
